But after painting wood panels in one of our bathrooms, I realized it was way too much work and not easily reversible, so I decided to try something else. Here's what I've done so far:
Remember the faux wood blinds we installed in our living room? We had oodles of leftover slats after shortening them to the correct length. My creative sister-in-law, Aubree, told me I should use them to make a picket fence in the girls' room. She's brilliant! I think it looks really cute. I added some foam sticker flowers along the bottom and some wooden butterflies and bees along the fence. I mounted the fabric flower decorations I made above Jennabee's bed.
I also made white coverlets for both girls after cutting a full size coverlet I found at a yard sale to toddler bed size and hemming the edges.
I used a thrifted sheet to sew a valance.
I also painted the little pictures hanging on the wall. Here is a close up of the paintings:
The only thing left to do is to paint the built-ins.
I was thinking of painting them white and maybe putting cute knobs or handles on. What do you all think? Should I paint some small butterflies and flowers on the closet doors? Also, does anybody know what I should do with the brick wall? I really don't want to paint it. Maybe it will grow on me....
